Mine is pork. I'm not much of a moralfag when it comes to food but I really don't like the idea of eating something that has the intelligence of a toddler when there's dumber animals out there to eat.

Out of curiosity, what dumber animals would you prefer to eat instead?
 
There's a brazilian dish called sarapatel, it gives me the heebies jeebies because of the pork blood
RECIPE - Sarapatel
Serves 6

1 set pork viscera as follows: lungs, liver, heart
2 cups solidified pork blood, cut into 1 inch cubes**
2 cups water
lime juice to taste
fresh limes
2 large red onions, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
4 Tbsp. chopped parsley
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 serrano chiles
4 Tbsp. lard

** If the pork blood is liquid, pour it into a boilable Zip-Loc bag, and cook in simmering water for approximately 15 minutes. Let cool, and remove from bag, then cube.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In a large pan or stockpot, combine the water, the pork innards, a good amount of lime juice, and some halved limes. Bring the water to a boil, drain the innards, and then repeat the process with fresh water and lime juice. Remove the innards from the water, let drain, then cool,. Chop the innards into bite sized pieces and return them to the water with all the other ingredients except the lard and the blood. Cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours.

The next day, remove all the solid ingredients from the pan or stockpot. Drain them well. Heat the lard in a heavy duty frying pan, and fry all the ingredients, in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Once they are golden, place in a fresh pan, cover with fresh water and lime juice, and cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until the pork is tender. Carefully add the cubed blood, let simmer for a few minutes for the sauce to thicken, then serve.
 
One time a family friend brought over a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving. Even though the meat was pink it was fully cooked and safe to eat, but I still couldn't bring myself to have more than a few bites.
 
Coconut in any form makes me vomit. Pina coladas, coconut cake, mounds candy bars, coconut milk, anything. My personal hell is being stuck on a deserted island with nothing but coconut trees on it.
